Horror's Not Dead

Horror's Not Dead

"The Living Dead and the dying living are all the same. Cut from the same cloth. But disposing of dead people is a public service, whereas you're in all sorts of trouble if you kill someone while they're still alive. "

Last Week in Horror: June 22nd to the 29th

June 29th 2008 @ 10:21 am

Last Week in Horror, the most interesting thing I came across was, against all conceptions, the first official poster for SAW V.  I think it is a magnificent poster and, for the first time in a long time, exhibits the staying power of horror icons.  Though the lack of nipples in it is quite weird if you stare at it too long.

Bruce Campbell’s long unreleased MY NAME IS BRUCE finally gets a release date.  I doubt it will, but it hope it pulls Scrooge sized mountains of coin.  And no, I most certainly do not own stock in its distributor Image Entertainment.  No, I didn’t cry when their stock fell 14% after a dip in earnings last Thursday.  Nope, not at all.  I in no way whatsoever encourage everyone to buy 2 tickets when MY NAME IS BRUCE comes out, or its announced sequel MY NAME IS STILL BRUCE.  Nope, no agenda here.

Oh, and I would recommend watching the Twitch hosted trailer for Fabrice Du Welz’s CALVAIRE followup film VINYAN linked below.  Looks magnificent.Theatrical Trailers and Clips

    Tartan’s gone? Where am I going to get my EXTREME Asian film now? I guess the vengeance trilogy just wasn’t enough.

    Keep those crickets singing.

    Hey Peter, have you seen 100 Tears yet? Pretty bad, but there’s a midget chase scene. I…don’t know if that’s your thing, or not, but hey.

    Sean, I can’t tell if you’re talking about a horror movie or the Verne Troyer sex tape. Or are they one in the same?

    Oh, that reminds me, speaking of bad.

    Mr. Lordi is in a movie called Dark Floors which is supposed to be really bad.

    Have you guys seen it yet?
